In October 2024, the Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies embarked on an important journey through South Africa’s Eastern Cape. Their mission was to see how well communication and digital policies were working for the local communities, visiting places like post offices and community radios. They spoke with officials and locals, uncovering both challenges and successes in connecting people and sharing information. This visit was not just a routine check; it showed how vital technology and communication are in empowering communities and strengthening democracy, aiming for a brighter future for everyone.
